The couple also co-founded the Reeve-Irvine Research Center, lobbying on behalf of spinal cord injury victims and for stem cell research.
Christopher Reeve also decided to do whatever he could to grant his son a happy childhood.
During an interview withĀ PEOPLEĀ in 2016, Will opened up about his amazing childhood, which he considered a ātotally normalā one.
āThey were the people who told me to turn off the TV, to eat my broccoli, to go to bed,ā Will lovingly recalled. āI understand that not every child experiences going to the grocery store and seeing their dad on the magazine at the checkout aisle, but ā¦ it was a totally normal childhood.ā
Will also remembered when his father taught him how to ride a bike from his wheelchair. āI didnāt believe it was gonna work. Iām terrified, but I have my dadās voice behind me going, āSteady, steady, left, right, left, right,’ā he said, adding, āBy the third lap, Iām smiling, looking at my dad, waving, and heās smiling. That meant so much to him. Later on, I would race in him the wheelchair. Heād let me win.ā
Sadly, Willās father passed away when they were piecing everything back together.
